Curly Hair Consultations

Our stylists recently completed special training for kiddos with curly hair. With the right strategies, the right products and a little practice, you’ll find it’s easier to work with your child’s natural curls than against them and get beautiful results. Call today to schedule a one-hour “curly hair consultation.”

Natural curls are a whole different ballgame, aren’t they? But with the right strategies, the right products and a little practice, you’ll find it’s easier to work with your child’s natural curls than against them and get beautiful results.

Curls are all the rage right now, so there’s never been a better time to help your child celebrate the hair they were blessed with. Our stylists recently completed special training for kiddos with curly or wavy hair. So call today to schedule a one-hour “curly hair consultation” where a specially trained stylist will evaluate and style your child’s hair, walking you through each step of hair care as she goes. We’ll even send you home with a list of tips and suggestions.

The Hairy Elephant also carries sulfate-free hair products created especially for curly-haired kiddos, including Fuzzy Duck® and MopTop&tm;.

NOTE: We’ll be cutting your child’s hair DRY, then shampooing/conditioning the hair afterwards. To get the most from your consultation, it’s best to shampoo and condition your child’s hair as usual, but let it dry as it falls naturally so that we can detect every curl, wave and cowlick—please, no brushing, combing, clips, headbands, caps, hats, etc. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to call in advance.

Call either of our convenient locations, in West St. Louis County or St. Charles County, and schedule your appointment today.

Services for Special Needs Children

When The Hairy Elephant opened in 2003, we quickly saw the need to support parents of children with special needs. Our salon environment is welcoming and we never want a parent to feel self-conscience about their child and their haircut experience. We understand that it can be very scary to some children and our staff works hard to make these children feel comfortable.

Children with Autism have become a special area of focus for us. Special training for our staff, as well as information about what would be helpful to make a routine haircut easier for these children, was provided by local Autism groups.

Besides training, we work hard on the atmosphere. We even search out special tools of the trade. We utilize the quietest clippers and trimmers available professionally, and most stations have novelty cars for kids to sit on while getting a haircut. Adult styling chairs are also available for bigger kids or a child that is more comfortable sitting on a parent’s lap. Each station has a TV/DVD/VCR so children can watch one of our many movies or bring a favorite from home. We also have weighted lap pads and continue to look into other equipment to help make the haircut experience better.

Lastly, we encourage parents to request the same stylist each visit, as this allows the stylist and the child to get to know each other. We’ve learned that when a child consistently sees the same stylist, they come to know what to expect and, ultimately, the haircut experience becomes more comfortable, if not enjoyable.

Come in for a visit!

Never been to our salon? Well, take a look at what you’re missing!

From our friendly elephant shampooing stations to the exciting chair vehicles and video game stations, you and your children will know The Hairy Elephant was designed to make haircuts fun and exciting.

Products

Visit either of our stores for all our fantastic product lines!

We give children the opportunity to mix and match shampoo “flavors” to create their own recipe! They can have their hair shampooed that day and even take home a bottle of their unique creation.

For naturally curly or wavy hair, we offer products by Fuzzy Duck® and MopTopTM. (Children may add a dollop of “flavor” to their curly-hair shampoo if they wish.)

Appointment Policy

Appointments

Hairy Elephant is an appointment-based salon. We can take walk-ins when we have availability. You may want to avoid high-volume times, such as: Saturdays, evenings, and weeks leading up to holidays, to avoid disappointment.

Late Arrivals

We work very hard to schedule the right amount of time for each service. Accommodating late guests is often impossible without disrupting every other guest schedule that day.

Please be aware, in the unfortunate event you are more than 15 minutes late, we cannot guarantee that your services will be performed that day. Tardiness may require rescheduling your appointment for another day.

No Shows

If you are unable to make your appointment please contact us as soon as possible. If you are excessive about not showing up for your appointments we will no longer be able to make appointments for you.
